Dublin Bus says new LUAS line could hamper services
25/04/2006 - 12:11:05



Dublin Bus has claimed its services will be adversely affected if the expected route of the new LUAS line in Dublin is approved.

A number of proposed routes have been put forward for the planned link-up between the two existing tram lines in the city.

The one expected to get final approval would see new tracks being built from St Stephen's Green to O'Connell Street via Dawson St and College St.

Dublin Bus claims this would have a permanent effect on the viability of a number of bus services that currently use this area.

It said up to 35 bus stops would have to be removed and located elsewhere, while several routes would also have to be changed.
